Life Line Screening Partners with NCL to Boost Health Access for Union Workers

On December 11, 2025, Life Line Screening announced a new partnership with the National Coalition of Labor (NCL) aimed at enhancing access to preventive health screenings for union members. This initiative allows NCL members to monitor their risk for conditions such as stroke and cardiovascular disease, promoting proactive health management within the labor community.

Enhancing Health for Union Workers

The collaboration is tailored specifically to meet the health needs of union workers, recognizing the demanding environments they often navigate. As part of the program, NCL members will have access to comprehensive health screenings at a preferred rate. These screenings are designed to identify potential health issues early, enabling workers to take necessary actions toward their long-term health.

Matt Miller, CEO of Life Line Screening, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, “Union members are the backbone of our communities, and they deserve access to preventive screenings that keep them healthy and safe.” By partnering with the NCL, Life Line Screening aims to ensure that union members possess the tools needed to detect health risks promptly.

Ken Edwards, Executive Director of the NCL, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the physical demands placed on union workers. “Hardworking men and women across the labor movement count on our bodies every day to get the job done,” he remarked. Edwards reiterated the commitment to providing members with advanced resources to maintain their health, noting that the success of the partnership would be measured by its ability to help even a single member avoid a serious medical condition.

Flexible Access to Preventive Services

Members of the NCL can participate in any of Life Line Screening’s 15,000 annual community-based events held nationwide. Additionally, local unions have the option to offer screenings on-site or through a voucher program, making it easier for members and their families to access essential health evaluations.

This flexible approach is intended to cater to the diverse needs of union members, ensuring they can take proactive steps toward better health. Life Line Screening has a strong track record, having served over 11 million individuals since its establishment in 1993.

Founded to empower individuals to understand their health risks, Life Line Screening operates across more than 15,000 locations annually in the United States. Meanwhile, the National Coalition of Labor, established in 2018, focuses on providing valuable benefits to union members, currently representing over 300,000 individuals in more than 25 states.

This partnership marks a significant step toward improving health access for union workers, ensuring they receive the necessary screenings to maintain their well-being in challenging work environments. As both organizations move forward, the emphasis remains on enhancing the health and safety of those who play a crucial role in the labor movement.
